Aiden's POV"You bastard!" I roared. Swiveling on my feet, I turned to face Mitch again. My anger was no longer teetering on any edge—it was ready to blow out of proportion.Mitch stood there, arms swinging by his sides like scary, beefy pendulums. His chest was rising and falling rapidly with every breath he inhaled and exhaled. His clothes looked as though they were ready to burst apart at the seams, and his face was the picture of terrifying.I didn't care that this middle-aged man was older than me. I didn't care that he was twice my weight, or that he was towering above me with several inches to an entire foot.I did not care about all of that. The fact that he had chosen to call Lily names did not and will never sit well with me."What, boy?" Mitch roared. When I said nothing, he grinned widely. "What are you going to do to me? Come on, boy! Attack me!"I growled loudly and fisted my hands. Storming across the basement, I reached the man and landed a resounding blow on his face

Lily's POVI frowned. For the past three days, guards had been stationed by my door, watching my every move. Where had all of them gone? My mind echoed with thoughts about the strange absence of the guards outside my room.I paused, straightening and chewing the corner of my lips in thought. It was as if the entire estate had fallen into a silent slumber, leaving me questioning their whereabouts. Curiosity made me move away from the door again, and I walked towards the window. I peered outside again, my breath fogging the glass as I peered into the night. Guards were stationed outside as usual, but they seemed even more scanty than usual. And was it my imagination, or were there more cars than usual parked outside?I furrowed my brows and chewed my lips in consideration. This was as good a chance as any to finally escape.Turning away from the window, I walked to the closet and fished out a black hoodie, one of the ones I had gotten from the boutique downtown. Slipping it on, I turn
The Billionaire’s Pet 41.
LILY'S POVI could no longer feel safe in Aiden's house. The little information I had up my sleeves was enough to make me take a bold step to free myself from the danger that was approaching.I needed not to be told that I was just a pawn; a rag doll set in between two enemies, being dragged at both hands, having nowhere to stand. Desperation had landed me in to this. If only I had not accepted to spend four weeks with him, maybe I would still have my freedom, and I would still be able to breathe in peace.Seeing that Ricardo was hellbent on achieving his aim—getting me, and from the looks of things, Aiden was not ready to let go of me. Was this not putting me on dangerous ground?I needed to leave as soon as possible. Without wasting any more seconds, I crept out of my hideout, looking left and right, as though I was trying to cross the road. Well, if there was anything I needed to do, it was to be extra careful. I was literally in a lair, with two dangerous people; maybe not two,

LILY'S POVThe darkness seemed like it would swallow me whole, as I could not see anything in front of me, or behind me. The night was eerie, giving off a different kind of vibe, or maybe it was because I had not stepped out of my cage for a while.I wondered if I would ever find a cab to take me to Mira's house, as every step I took felt like I was stepping into a trap.The wind blew West, taking my hair along, as it swept it off my back. I felt like someone would come out of nowhere, and pull me by the hair, so I wore the cap of my hoodie over my head, making me look like a stalker at night.I was more than afraid, even though I was free from the dangers ahead of me. In a few minutes from now, the fight might have ended, and Aiden might have discovered that I'm gone.He would surely come looking for me, and I'm certain that his men had their way around this place, so they could easily find me.I couldn't let myself be caught again, not right after I could smell freedom. I walked, I

LILY'S POVI had one peaceful sleep after some days, and I could say that I slept like a baby, or maybe, like a log of wood. Who knows?It did not matter how I slept, as long as I had comfortably closed my eyes and drifted off into the lady of dreams and visions.Back then, I was usually disturbed by the sounds coming from the guards at night, but now, I did not have to worry about itI was awake, but I felt lazy to get my ass off the bed. I just wished it was not morning already.I closed my eyes again to see if I could fall asleep, but I heard some noise outside my room.It was loud, but I could not hear them clearly. It came off as shuffles and groanings. "What was going on?" I asked myself and shoved the duvet to the other side of the bed. Sliding into my slippers, I walked towards the door, pinning my ear to the door, to get a grasp of what was going on. My room was close to the sitting room, so I did not find it difficult to hear them. It seemed like someone had found me alre

LILY'S POVI leaned on the door, crouching to the floor, hugging my weak knees, as a tear fell off my eyes.I waited to hear a knock on my door, but no one came, and it was over five minutes. It seemed like he had gone, as I heard distant footsteps.It was surprising, as I thought Aiden would trail behind me, and maybe try to talk to me, even though it looked like I was pushing him away.It baffled me that he just turned away, and left. I wondered what was going through his mind, but this hurt me.For a second, I thought I felt nothing for him. Even if I wanted him to stay away from me, I still wanted him around. This was stupid, wanting someone to be there for you, yet pushing him away. I couldn't blame him for leaving. My words, I know, were like thorns. I hated to speak whenever I was angry, but it was the only way I could express myself.I rested my head on the wall, letting my mind fight numerous thoughts. I heard the door click open, and my eyes flew open.Immediately, Mira wa
The Billionaire’s Pet 45.
LILY'S POVIt had been two days since I left Aiden's house, and it felt happy; I guess. Well, at least, I was free from the troubles and dangers, and I was living in peace. Although I kind of missed him, I knew that it would not take long before the feelings disappeared like a wisp of smoke.My life was slowly coming back to the way it used to be before I met Aiden. With my roommate and friend, I had nothing to worry about, as she was always there for me, giving me the comfort I needed, and cheering me up every time I felt down.Mira was out, and I felt bored staying at home alone. I had nowhere else to go than the hospital, at least, to know how my brother was faring. I just wished that the number would go higher so that he would be close to getting his heart transplant. Every day felt like I was drowning in fear, as I thought about my brother's health constantly.In a few minutes, I was out, on a bus heading to Manhattan, to see my brother in the hospital. The window was wound dow
The Billionaire’s Pet 46.
LILY'S POVIt had been a long day, and I was happy that my brother was okay, and most importantly, his number had moved up on the list. It was a thing of joy for me, as I had been worried about him.I opened the door, but Mira was not at home. I guessed that I would have to be at home alone and wait for her to come home.I went to the kitchen to grab some cookies and a glass of juice. I thought of watching a movie to keep me busy.As I relaxed on the sofa to eat my snack, my phone beeped, and I wondered who had sent a message to me. At first, I thought it was Mira. Maybe she wanted to tell me something, or could it be that Doctor Youn wanted to pass a message to me?Curiosity got the best of me, as I placed back the glass on the table, and picked up my phone, swiping to the right, to unlock it.It was a message from the last person I had expected to have messaged me. Aiden Blackwood.Does he even understand the gravity of what he was doing? I was trying to stay away from him, but he
